IHM-42-IND - 16oz Natural Indigo Selvedge Denim M65 Field Jacket

[Germinal]

I love it, it looks great.
However I am the only one questioning the design choice of having the tightening ropes hanging down ?
Is there anyway to have them hidden ?
Cut them ?

@Germinal I’m sorry, but don’t see what you’re referring to. Can you show us?

[Germinal]

@goosehd yes of course. These

[goosehd]

@Germinal Thank you and I understand now.

@Germinal Personally I just removed those from the hem on my M65s, never use them. Kept the drawstrings at the waist though. (Just untie one end and pull it out).

[Germinal]

@JunkPants this is a good option. Thank you.

I don't think it was s design choice as such, I think it is a nod to the original.

That said, I don't like them flapping around and find them super annoying. So I cinch the hem to the diameter I like (I'm never going to need to adjust it, the way I wear stuff anyway), knot the cord at the cord exit points and then cut off the dangly bits.

A unique and interesting M65 variant....I just registered for an inventory notification!

… and then cut off the dangly bits.

Be careful doing that, as I’m finding that as we get older there are a lot more dangly bits that can get in the way

It’s a great looking coat. I am eager to see the measurements. Worth every penny if it fits

@Alex - have any of the crew been lucky enough to wear this over the last month or so? Would be intrigued to see how it fades.

@Crispy-Heron No, we have not put it through it's paces yet. It's been a little cold recently, but I may start wearing it this week

[Crispy Heron]

@Alex - true about the weather. When you do, update pics would be cool, if poss?

[Alex]

If i do, then pics would be the only reason I do it

[Crispy Heron]

@Alex - thank you for the precision in your response which was lacking from my post.

@Alex - when the day comes that this drops, I suspect that there are going to be a lot of people pressing ‘refresh’ on their computers from around 1558 hrs (GMT) onwards with their credit cards at the ready…FOMO!
